Also firenvim while you’re at it to have neovim embedded in your browser. https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim

Especially since apparently Wasavi is not a firefox plugin anymore apparently. There's no anchor to "Firefox add-on" on the page and the firefox plugin search turns up nothing. Firenvim works in both Chrome and Firefox and you can harness the power of neovim, so that's a plus. Typing this from a neovim instance in firefox

Actually, the releases page on GitHub does provide an .xpi file for Firefox, and it seems to be working fine. I guess the missing link on the website/README is a mistake.

Would love to try this, however it seems like the Firefox add-on is not available unfortunately. I've already tried the alternatives (tridactyl, vimium), but did not really like them enough to keep them installed. Seems like with wasavi, you can selectively launch vim interface for a text field whenever you feel like it, which was something I missed with the other solutions (or I haven't looked deep enough back then)…

I just did. There's an .xpi file in the releases page: https://github.com/akahuku/wasavi/releases/tag/v0.7.737

I can confirm this. However, I constantly get a "View saved logins" to the top of the input field after I start typing.

Did you experience the same? I'm on Firefox 108.0.2.

I don't see that, also on Firefox 108.0.2 (I'm using it to reply this comment.)

"Key feature", it is a great feature but it is "only" for editing with your editor of choice (vim,neovim,helix, etc.) right? Or am i missing something?

I think you've misunderstood, "native messaging" allows the tridactyl extension to interact with the filesystem and native applications: https://github.com/tridactyl/native_messenger

Oh okay i just installed native messenger today to use helix as my editor for textareas. Will look a bit more into it.

I made Homerow, it's the same idea as Vimium, but for the entire macOS user interface. https://homerow.app

Oh, How I wish this for pesky Windows 11!

Check out win-vind! It also comes with a tiling window manager but I've never used that.
